Huge Disappointment

Pros

As long as you stay out of proactive sales, it's a pretty supportive environment (more on proactive in the cons). The company has a friendly atmosphere and you'll get a lot of chances to meet coworkers outside the office (if you so choose, it's not required.) The company engages in philanthropic activities, and attempts some progressive ideas like a game room and a gym. The company is big on recognizing individual efforts and team efforts, even if it does feel a little forced sometimes. There is a lot of racial and age diversity which brings a great amount of innovation and new ideas. The company has a revenue sharing program which gives you some stake in the companies success.

Cons

Sales. The con of this company is that proactive sales is an absolute nightmare. The company has not figured out how to do this effectively yet and turnover is high enough to make your head spin. Your leads will be poorly sourced, the software will have bad data in it that will make you look stupid in front of the customer constantly. With something like 300 customers, only about 20 will be large enough to merit an account rep and even then they won't need much help. Add to that, you need to make 50-60 calls a day and you're calling people weekly who only need to hear from you once a month if that. The amount of firings also really cut into morale, you'd think they could find another job for those people or something since most of them are hard workers.

Pros

Culture, environment, benefits, food, special interest volunteering

Cons

Vacation days and sick days are all the same. You get so many for so much time put in. like you get 10 days for the year for your first few years, can save days to roll over but can't go over unless you "buy" them
